This has been in my personal Top 10 since it's release! I also have that MFSL, but on vinyl.
Last night I was enjoying this: 
and then on Blue Note: 
---Both on LP.
I was not pleased with the bass response I was getting and something was wrong....but I couldn't put my finger on it...
So, today I revisited all of my hook-ups to the sub and the amp(s). Duh, I had wired the sub in to the amp with all connections attached to the negative terminals...therefore the sub was out of phase!
Some times the smallest things can be so easily overlooked! Luckily, an easy fix.

John, if you like that pressing, I would suggest seeing if you can source the original UK pressing...I believe it is on the UK Charisma label. Pretty great sound.
BTW, how does the Crime of the Century in your pic compare to the MFSL version?
My Canadian copy is actually quite good so I'm in no hurry, but hey...if a better pressing can be found I'm all ears as I love this LP. I'll do some research for sure.
I don't own the MFSL version but have heard it several times, and I think the SC trumps it. So much so that I gave up looking for the MFSL. It digs really deep without sounding a little boosted at the lower extremes and brings out every nuance without sounding tipped up.
I just found out half hour ago: http://www.msn.com/en-ca/music/topnews/glenn-frey-eagles-guitarist-dies-at-67/ar-BBonVEc?li=AAggNb9
That's young, R.I.P. Glen ... wow, Eagles ...a great talented musician and cool guy with angel voice.
The MFSL version of Crime is pretty good, although i have no idea as how it compares to the Speakers Corner reissue. Do try an listen to the UK original of Genesis Trick...it's very impressive and IMO better than all of the other pressings I have heard...by a country mile.
I will be on the look out for the SC Crime. BTW, i just picked up a UK original of Phil Collins "Face Value"..should be interesting to see how this one sounds.
Hey Frantz,
Man, this is such a good album. Revisiting it now after you posted this.
I personally love the sound of this. To me, this album is the answer to the question "What does tracking to tape and mixing off the console sound like?" and a total antidote to the quantized ProTooled plug-in fest most things are today. But hey, that's me. Musicianship on this is mindblowing, so I wouldn't have cared if it had been tracked to DAT.
Time to revisit this album. It seems to me the highs are too subdued but you have a point about the recording not being over-processed. D'Enagelo is not a mchine gun type artist. Rather he is a sniper. He takes his time , in that case a very long time, between albums: 5 Years between the first and the second and 14 years (!) between the second and the third!! As I said before, well worth the wait. This is an incredible album. One for the ages.
